182/365v2 Sunset Portraits – Jo

Today’s Bishops Stortford Camera Club night out was all about portraits with the setting sun. So I arrived armed with all 3 of my flashes…and used none of them ;-). Portrait work is a long way from my comfort zone, but I really enjoyed photographing some of my friends from

173/365v2 Another Beautiful Evening at Doctors Pond

I took a stroll around Dunmow this evening – down to the church and then back around the recreation ground, but it was my Doctors Pond photo from right at the beginning of the walk that immediately caught my eye…it will be interesting how the other, later shots come out.

162/365v2 Great Dunmow Doctors Pond at Moonrise/Sunset

Always look behind you! We had another fairly disappointing sunset this evening, unusually there was more colour opposite the sunset…and the moon had made an appearance as well. If you would like a print of this picture you can get one here – https://shop.markseton.co.uk/Great-Dunmow/i-8NDLVc9/A

161/365v2 The Photographer’s Silhouette

The Bishops Stortford Camera Club congregated around the lake at Hatfield Forest this evening to photograph the sunset. It was a beautiful evening…but the severe lack of any clouds meant a very lacklustre sunset. Nevermind when a large group of photographers gather in one place you’ll always be able to

157/365v2 Sunset Over Doctors Pond

We’ve had some lovely weather over the last couple of days and I was sure we’d have a cracking sunset this evening…it just never happened. Still, Dunmow’s Doctors Pond always makes a pleasant picture.

An Essex Sunset at Aythorpe Roding

011/365v2 An Essex Sunset

At last, a dry day, let me confirm though – trudging around the local fields and footpaths is a muddy experience at the moment but I was so happy to be out and about this afternoon. I visited the windmill at Aythorpe Roding, but, this time, the windmill doesn’t feature

39/52 Hatfield Forest Lake at Sunset

Another of my more regular haunts for photography. This is the lake in the middle of Hatfield Forest, always a good spot for a sunset and we were treated to a belter this Sunday evening.

36/52 John Webb Windmill, Thaxted

I’ll sometimes go out with a very particular idea of what sort of picture I want to create. I don’t always achieve what I’m looking for, but when it comes off I do feel such pleasure in the final image. This is one such shot, a long exposure black and

35/52 Doctors Pond Sun Stream

Look through this web site and you’ll see many shots of Doctors Pond in Great Dunmow…not least because I only live about 20 yards from it 😉 I’ve never had any issues photographing this until today. Whilst photographing this I was approached by a woman who demanded to know what

25/52 An Unexpected Sunset

Sometimes I write completely new pieces for the blog, sometimes I use the same write up as my Flickr account – which you can visit by clicking here or on the Flickr icon at the top right of the page…anyhow, this is what I said on the Flickr version: Driving
